Former Napoli manger Maurizio Sarri will reportedly meet with Chelsea tomorrow with a view to replacing Antonio Conte at Stamford Bridge.

Just yesterday evening, the Telegraph reported that Chelsea faced a £9m pay out to part ways with Antonio Conte. The report further suggested that Conte would take a year away from football with the pay-out likely to fund his time away from management. The tone of the report suggested that Conte’s departure from Stamford Bridge felt inevitable, and tonight’s revelations would further extend this.
